Lock Your Folder Without Software

Normally, if you'd like to lock a folder inside your computer, you have to install a software to make it possible. Such as Folder Lock from here or another software.

But actually, it is not impossible to lock a folder without software. Just applying a short script and a little bit effort. So how to do that? Check it out..!

1. Open your Notepad program
   
2. Copy the script below into the Notepad
   
   
   cls
   @ECHO OFF
   title Folder Locker
   if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
   if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
   :CONFIRM
   echo Are you sure you want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
   set/p "cho=>"
   if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
   if %cho%==y goto LOCK
   if %cho%==n goto END
   if %cho%==N goto END
   echo Invalid choice.
   goto CONFIRM
   :LOCK
   ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
   attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
   echo Folder locked
   goto End
   :UNLOCK
   echo Enter password to Unlock folder
   set/p "pass=>"
   if NOT %pass%==INSERT YOUR PASSWORD anda goto FAIL
   attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
   ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
   echo Folder Unlocked successfully
   goto End
   :FAIL
   echo Invalid password
   goto end
   :MDLOCKER
   md Locker
   echo Locker created successfully
   goto End
   :End
   
   
3. Change the sentence "INSERT YOUR PASSWORD" with your own password, that you'll use to open the locked folder.
   
   
4. Save the notepad by using extension .bat (such as : locker.bat)
   
   
5. Open the file that you've saved with extension .bat, if it's working well, a folder named "locker" will be appeared.
   
   
6. You can input your private file into the "locker" folder.
   
   
7. After that, run the ".bat" formated file, and then a sentence "Are you Sure you want to lock the folder?" will be appeared. Just type Y to lock the folder.
   
   
8. To lock and to open the "locker" folder, you have to run the ".bat" file. So that, you have to keep the file hidden, to avoid it's deleted or opened by other people.
